Appeal on behalf of the Frederick Banting House for Elderly Diabetics, by Ted Kavanagh
Contributions will be gratefully acknowledged and should be addressed to [address removed]
The Frederick Banting House, Kingston - on- Thames, has been established for the care of elderly diabetics in poor c rcumstances. Named after the late Sir Frederick Banting, the co-disooverer of insulin, its foundation was made possible through voluntary donations by members and well-wishers of tihe Diabetic Association, whose patron is Her Majesity the Queen.
Caring for these old people requires special diets and skilled medical and nursing attention. Despite contributions from local authorities, the difference in actual maintenance costs has to be met by the Association, which desires to provide a real home for elderly diabetics drawn from all pants of the country. Funds to enable the Association to conttinue this work have to be raised from voluntary sources.
by Violet Markham , c.H.
Miss Markham reflects on some d fferences and similarities between the two Elizabethan Ages. She firmly believes in a recovery of greatness in -the spiritual sense. She soys: ' Let us have done with unworthy muxmurs that we, with our great past and great traditions, are now a second-class power because we have fewer ships and soldiers than our neighbours to east and west. A nation that had the enterprise during the las.t war to ca.rry through a fantastic scheme like Mulberry; to manufacture a prefabricated harbour, to tow it across the Channel, to anchor it on an enemy coast and land troops from it, has reserve powers of will and imagination as great as any shown in the sixteenth century.'
An imaginary musical tour in time, conducted by Doctor Thomas Augustine Arne , under whose guidance is traced the history of the world's first National Anthem from its first public performance at Drury Lane Theatre on September 28, 1745, up to the present day with Esme Percy as Doctor Arne Ivor Barnard as Mr. Jones
